Common questions in Clanville
Is Clanville close to London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London.
We are having a ceremony at St Margaret's Chapel: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
Do you cater for children?
Most children enjoy paella, particularly a simple chicken pan. Let us know numbers and ages.

The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. At midsummer, it’s light in Clanville until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Vegetable paella
A vegetable pan means vegetarians eat well.
Is live paella right for your party?
Compared with a barbecue, paella is served all at once, so everyone eats together. And there’s no host stuck at the grill. Larger events generally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
